After pondering for a long time, Old Gu seemed to have made an important decision.

“Alright, I will write a letter myself. You can send someone to the Gu family and tell them to pick her up immediately. Once the Gu family has seen A-Ye, I will use the Gu family seal as a bargaining chip. I will also transfer the right to use A-Ye’s gene laboratory to you.”

Pei Yuanshao raised an eyebrow in satisfaction.

"The old man is a man of his word, so it's settled then."

Putting away his phone, Pei Yuanshao stood up and glanced at Gu Tingjun.

"Second brother, prepare paper and pen; the old man needs them."

Gu Tingjun was dumbfounded; Pei Yuanshao was indeed quite capable.

I just showed the old man a video on my phone, and he immediately changed his tune.

"Go get some paper and a pen."

"Yes!" One of the subordinates turned and left.

Pei Yuanshao glanced at the half-eaten, bloody ear next to Elder Gu.

"Second brother, let's put this piece of ear away. Maybe we can sew it back on."

Pei Yuanshao's eyes held a hint of mockery: "Even if it can't be stitched up, our bodies and hair are gifts from our parents, so it's good to keep a memento."

Gu Tingjun's face darkened.

He could tell that Pei Yuanshao was mocking him.

but……

"Put away my half-ear," he instructed his subordinate.

If we go to the hospital, they might actually be able to stitch it up.

His ear was bleeding, and Gu Tingjun couldn't bear the pain any longer. With half of his ear bitten off, he rushed to the hospital for stitches.

After receiving the letter in Gu Lao's own handwriting, Pei Yuanshao gave Gu Lao a deep look before leaving.

“Old man, sometimes, what appears on the surface is not necessarily true. Even if you have immense power, there are still many blind spots that you are unaware of.”

After uttering this rather profound statement, Pei Yuanshao turned and left the secret chamber.

The heavy door closed again.

Old Gu slowly closed his eyes, exhausted.

As long as Ah Ye can return safely, he would be willing to give up all power in the Gu family.

"Knock knock!"

Fang Shu walked to the office door and knocked.

"Come in," came a cold, indifferent voice from inside.

Fang Shu pushed open the door and entered.

"Master, we have a lead on Old Master Gu."

Fifth Master was buried in his work at his desk, his right hand holding a fountain pen, writing something.

"They must be from the second branch of the Gu family."

Fang Shu looked at his master in surprise.

"You know all this?"

The man slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"The more someone flatters and fawns over others, the more likely they are to harbor malicious intentions. Besides, Gu Tingjun has Ye Yuzhen by his side who is unwilling to be mediocre."

"Yes, Gu Tingjun and Huo Zhaoyuan have joined forces to kidnap Old Master Gu. He is currently being held captive in Gu Tingjun's home. Should we attempt a rescue?"

The man shook his head.

"Do not interfere for now."

Fang Shu frowned and asked doubtfully, "But Elder Gu is old. If he falls into Gu Tingjun's hands, I'm afraid his life will be in danger."

The man's handsome and refined face showed no emotion whatsoever.

He said calmly, "No, Gu Tingjun arrested the old man to get the Gu family's seal. Huo Zhaoyuan was thinking of 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind,' so naturally he wouldn't let anything happen to the old man."

"So what do we do next?"

"wait!"

The word "wait" only made the magician even more confused.

He decided to stop thinking about it, nodded, and turned to leave.

Fang Shu felt that his master had lived in this world for a hundred years, experienced the warlord wars, and gone through the vicissitudes of life.

I have long since become indifferent to everything.

Family ties may have become extremely unfamiliar to him.

That's why he seemed so calm and composed when Old Master Gu was kidnapped.

"Send people over secretly to keep a close eye on Gu Tingjun's situation. If any unexpected situation arises, intervene immediately!"

As Fang Shu approached the door, a deep, resonant male voice came from behind him.

"Yes!" A smile slowly appeared on Fang Shu's indifferent face.

As Fang Shu stepped out of the office, he was met by a beautiful figure from behind.

"Qianmo?"

Hearing her name called, the girl slowly turned around.

At this moment, she had changed into a set of casual home clothes, her long hair was slightly messy, and her eyes showed a hint of sleepiness.

A slightly bewildered look came over to Fang Shu, who looked him up and down for a while.

"You know me?"

"What? Don't you recognize me?" Fang Shu walked towards Bai Qianmo.

Bai Qianmo shook her head: "I don't recognize this place. Where is this?"

She looked around in confusion, finding everything in front of her completely unfamiliar.

I woke up to find myself in an unfamiliar environment.

Shouldn't she be in country Y?

Fang Shu frowned and looked the girl up and down.

It really is Bai Qianmo, but something feels off.

Could it be that he has lost his memory?

"By the way, have you seen my fifth brother?"

Upon hearing Bai Qianmo call out "Fifth Brother," Fang Shu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems you still remember Fifth Master, but why don't you remember him?

Just as I was wondering what was going on, the office door was opened.

The man slowly walked out, his deep, dark eyes looking straight at Bai Qianmo. A wave surged in the depths of his eyes, which seemed to span centuries.

When the girl saw the man, her slightly aloof eyes suddenly shone like stars.

"Fifth Brother, it's so good to have you here." She ran and rushed into the man's arms.
